Free and reduced breakfasts/lunches will be available to students whose family income falls within the eligibility criteria as established through federal guidelines. Participants in this program will not be identified so as to comply with federal regulations. Applications for participation in the free and reduced price breakfast/lunch program will be available to all students in early July. Or if you would like to apply for free or reduced meals. Please contact the building your student attends or the Food Service Office (785-379-5834) for an application. Online application available here.

Federal Law states that all meals served in a public school are to be paid for in advance. Make sure your student has money in their account if they are eating school breakfast or lunch. If your student has a negative balance from the past years, he or she will not be able to purchase a meal on the first day of school unless/until account is brought current. At this time, Shawnee Heights does not participate in the free snack milk program. If snack milk is offered at your school, the student will be charged $.50 a day for a carton of milk; this amount is not covered by the free and reduced lunch program.
